0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace: Another Star who wore a Custom Gown to the Golden Globe Awards was the Drop Dead Gorgeous Angelina Jolie.

When you are Angelina, you can't just wear any ol' Couture Frock off the Runway, huney! No! you have Donatella and her team create a Custom Couture creation just for you!

This Creme with Red Accent Silk Crepe Back Satin Gown fit her to perfection. Trust me, to create darts and tailor Silk Satin that masterfully is no easy feat! And I absolutely LOVE that 1940's draping.

I know this one will be another look that people will Love or Hate, but I am firmly in the LOVE camp. She can often play it safe or subdued on the Red Carpet, but with this look I think she really "brought it" to the Globes!

Everything about her look was beautifully thought out including this soft, modern chignon.

And, of course, the trend of the night...a custom DTM (dyed to match) Satin Clutch! Love that they did it to match the Red detailing of the collar.

0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Evan Rachel Wood in Custom Gucci Premiere

Evan Rachel Wood in Custom Gucci Premiere: Another one of my absolute favorites of the night was Evan Rachel Wood in, once again!, Gucci Premiere!

This Halter Gown with Degrade Feather Detailing was an absolute Show Stopper and made Evan Rachel look like she was a Mermaid that escaped from the sea!

The fit and hand work on this dress was flawless. I can only imagine how many hours it took to apply all those feathers!

She looked as stunning from the back as she did from the front.

Her make up was perfection and she was smart to keep the earring simple.

The gold bracelet (vintage?) and snake ring were perfectly unique and quirky accents that reflect Evan's personality and style. And by the way....look at that feather work on the dress!

0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Jessica Alba in Custom Gucci Premiere

Jessica Alba in Custom Gucci Premiere: Another Actress that looked absolutely stunning last night was Jessica Alba in this Dusty Rose Strapless Gown with Beaded Petal-like Detailing and Chiffon Draping.

In case you didn't know, Gucci began a Custom Line of Dresses called Gucci Premiere specifically to outfit celebs for major Red Carpet appearances. Since Gucci is mainly a luxury Sportswear Brand, someone realized "Hey, we are missing out on all that Red Carpet Advertising!" and Viola! Gucci Premiere was born.

To date, I don't think they have had one miss! Remember Hilary Swank at the Oscars last year?!

Jessica (and her stylist) chose the perfect earrings for the gown with these Bulgari Diamond Drops.

And her modern chignon was the perfect compliment to the entire look.

She finished off the look with this DTM (dyed to match) Roger Vivier clutch and exquisite Bulgari diamond bracelet.

0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Charlize Theron in Custom Christian Dior Haute Couture

Charlize Theron in Custom Christian Dior Haute Couture: It was no surprise that Charlize made a jaw dropping entrance onto the Red Carpet or that she wore Dior (she is the spokeswoman in the "J'adore" perfume advertisements.)

For many this will be a Love it or Hate it look, but I thought she looked amazing and every bit the Hollywood Star. Obviously, it is hard to ever look bad if you are Charlize, but I love that she always gives a bit of drama to her Red Carpet Dressing.

Another controversial decision was to accent the look with a Diamond Cartier Headband. I'm sure many people will despise this accessory, but I think it gives her a complete look from head to toe. She went all out with this look and I love that about her!

Speaking of toes, she wore these Strappy Givenchy heels (as I've been saying Strappy Heels are back and I am THRILLED about it!)

And she was carrying this vintage inspired, beaded Dior clutch which was gorgeous!

Feel free to let me know your thoughts!! Love it or Hate it?

0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Natalie Portman in Custom Lanvin

Natalie Portman in Custom Lanvin: It comes as no surprise that some of the most stunning gowns of the night were custom made. There is something so special about a dress that is created especially for the wearer and it helps that some of the recipients of these gowns are the most BEAUTIFUL women in the world!

Nowhere is that more apparent than on the stunning Natalie Portman.

After walking all the Award Show Red Carpets pregnant last year, Natalie arrived this year showing off her svelte and petite figure in this dark Fuchsia Duchess Silk Satin Strapless Gown with Side Drape Detailing.

I love that the dress shows off Natalie's figure, while not being too overt about it (which is neither her style or Alber Elbaz' (designer of Lanvin). This was definitely one of my favorite looks of the night.

She was perfectly accessorized with Harry Winston Diamonds and a Dyed to Match (big trend of the night!) clutch.

0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Shailene Woodley in Marchesa Spring 2012

Shailene Woodley in Marchesa Spring 2012: Wow! This is how you break on to the scene! Shailene is the breakout star of the new George Clooney film "The Descendents" and she was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress.

And for someone who is new to the Red Carpet, Shailene certainly hit it out of the park on the first try! Note to all newcomers, contact Marchesa...it is hard to go wrong in their frothy creations by Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman..

She looked beautiful in this Silver Silk Tulle and Beaded Gown. Note how the outer layer of tulle was removed to create a more "Red Carpet Ready" hourglass silhouette.

0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Lea Michele in Marchesa Spring 2012

Lea Michele in Marchesa Spring 2012: My comment in the last post about Starlets going directly to Marchesa might not have worked so well for Lea Michele. After watching the Miss America Pageant last night, I fear that this dress veers ever too close to a Pageant Dress.

While this is probably the perfect dress for someone like Halle Berry, Lea Michele comes off looking a bit too Miss Oklahoma for my liking. On a positive note: I do like that the took away the peplum pieces at the waist!

0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Salma Hayek in Gucci Premiere

Salma Hayek in Gucci Premiere (Custom Gucci): Salma looked Hot, hot, hot! in her custom, made-to-order Gucci Premiere Gown. While it is similar to the recent Gucci Spring 2012 Collection it was an original design just for Ms. Hayek or should I say Mrs. Pinault.

Salma is married to François-Henri Pinault. He is the Chairman and CEO of PPPR which owns brands such as Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen and more...

In other words, she should be getting her underwear custom made as far as I'm concerned!

This Black and Gold Bugle Beaded Siren dress was a perfect marriage of 1920's influence, while allowing for a Va-Va-Voom Silhouette for Salma's petite and curvaceous figure.

0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Diane Lane in Reem Acra Pre Fall 2012

Diane Lane did NOT disappoint in this stunning Gold, Beaded, Tulle Gown by Reem Acra Pre Fall 2012.

I love everything about this look on Diane. The color, beading and silhouette gives her a regal, Hollywood Royalty look which is exactly what she should be portraying to the world. I also love how the dress, which is most likely the EXACT sample seen on the model on the right, looks perfectly age appropriate on both women.

0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Madonna in Reem Acra Pre Fall 2012

Madonna wore the above Silver Beaded and Black Tafetta Reem Acra Pre Fall 2012 Ball Gown to this years Golden Globe Awards.

It is not so much the dress that isn't working for me, but the way she accessorized the entire look. The black half glove with stacked Diamond Bracelets, Cross Necklace and lifeless hairstyle just make me confused.

Instead of making one strong Fashion Statement, she seems to be all over the place with this ensemble.

0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Nicole Kidman in Versace Spring 2012

Nicole Kidman in Versace Spring 2012: The photo here just doesn't do Nicole and this dress any justice. When you see her on the Red Carpet and on Stage she is incredibly striking and looks as if she could have actually walked the runway of the Versace show!

This was one of my favorite Versace Shows of recent season because it was such a direct reference to Gianni Versace and I love that she chose to wear this dress.

0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Claire Danes in J. Mendel Pre Fall 2012

Claire Danes chose the above Black and White Silk Crepe J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2012 Cocktail Dress for this year's Golden Globe Awards and she (or her stylist) wisely decided to customize it and make it into a stunning gown.

I LOVE the Art Deco Quality, the belted waist detailing and Bugle Beaded Overlay open back.

0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Julianna Margulies in Naeem Khan Spring 2012

Julianna Margulies wore this Naeem Khan Spring 2012 Plum Bugle Beaded Gown with Open Back and Sleeves.

At first glance, with it being so covered up in the front and severe chignon hairstyle, I wasn't quite sure if it was working for me. But as I reviewed more and more of the photos, it started to grow on me.

There are some absolute SHOW STOPPING Dresses on the Red Carpet tonight! So this might get lost in the crowd, so to speak.

0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci Pre Fall 2012

Rooney Mara stuck to her trend of wearing Black, Directional Silhouettes and chose to wear this Taffeta Nina Ricci Pre Fall 2012 Gown.

Rooney is always stunning and a striking presence on the Red Carpet, and I understand her continuing to stay close to the "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" Brand, I just think there are even more interesting black dresses out there for her to choose from.

She did soften her look a bit by sweeping her bangs to one side which I think is a great look for her and let's us see that beautiful face.

What do you guys think?!

0 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Who Wore What? Sarah Michelle Gellar in Monique Lhuillier Spring 2012

Sarah Michelle Gellar in Monique Lhuillier Spring 2012. This Blue and White Taffeta Ink Swirl Print Ball Gown is sure to be a Love it or Hate it choice for the Fashion Pundits and viewers.

It certainly takes courage to wear a dress you have to know that people will say looks like a Warshak Ink Blot Test! She said that her daughter chose this dress and I'm thinking she might want to rethink taking that advice the next time she gets ready to hit the Red Carpet.

What do you think?!?
